| - SkekShod was the Skeksis Treasurer, and counterpart to urYod the Numerologist. He was an eccentric individual, who kept track of events through the gifts he received rather than through measuring time. His powers of speech were limited, and he usually got his way only through bribery. His loyalty lay with skekZok the Ritual Master and skekOk the Scroll Keeper. He supported skekZok in his failed bid to inherit skekSo's mantle as Emperor, and later plotted with him to overthrow the new Emperor, skekUng.

"SkekShod the Treasurer counted gifts, not time. None dared approach him without some offering; yet his desires were so inordinate and his powers of speech so limited that he knew no other way to get his will other than extravagant bribery." Pre-production notes for the Treasurer note a "collar shaped like an abacus" and "pockets sagging from weight". SkekShod can often be seen biting coins to test for gold, reacting to the sound of coins, stroking a casket under his arm, and constantly wringing his hands. The easiest visual cue for picking out the Treasurer in the film is the kerchief head covering.
